Trump says illegal immigrants pouring across the border to vote

Source: Politico

The federal government is allowing illegal immigrants to flow into the U.S. so they can vote, Donald Trump alleged without evidence Friday, fueling his own argument that November’s presidential election will be rigged against him.
...
“You hear a thing like that, and it’s a disgrace,” he said. “Well, it will be a lot different if I get elected.”

The White House questioned why Trump would float an unsubstantiated claim.
...
“Under federal law, an individual must be a U.S. citizen either by birth or naturalization to vote in a federal election in the United States,” she said in a statement. “If a foreign national seeks to naturalize, he or she would need to meet any requirements before doing so, generally including residing in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for at least five years.”

You can not vote unless you are a registered voter and your name is in the polling log.

Although this might not matter with his "p***y grabing" talk.

His intent is to cause his followers to start shooting Democrats if Trump loses the election.

If Trump's followers kill one person because of Trump's rhetoric, the authorities need to charge Trump with murder.
